Yah I'm not even due for my diabetic labs until November.. but I got lucky today, and a nice surprise with this :)
I work for an endocrine office, and we needed to calibrate the machines.. so we ran my a1c on 4 different machines haha. I jumped to volunteer for that job! haha
I tell ya though.. working in endocrinology and being threatened with insulin was a huge eye opener for me to have this surgery. It honestly was a hmm.. do I want to die in my 60's or my 80's?

That is fabulous! Great work!
Honestly I think the health victories, for me, have meant waaay more than the scale victories. Obviously, I LOVE being thinner. But what gives me a deep sense of satisfaction is (for example) knowing I can do a 10k and keep my heart in a nice aerobic range the whole time.
Those are the things that will sustain you when the number on the scale is just frustrating.
